Bette Davis was on her final stretch in this Agatha Christie vehicle, with a gallery of A-listers phoning in a souped-up version of their existing screen personae. The scene is a 1930s paddle steamer chugging down the Nile, aboard which a wealthy heiress has been shot: Peter Ustinov’s Hercule Poirot investigates and suspicion falls on a querulous A...
This is one of the least-remembered of Davis’s gothic “has-been” roles, something which became a late-career speciality for her – but it did win her an Oscar nomination. She plays Maggie Elliot, a washed-up movie actor who is now broke, failing to get any work and faced with the awful reality of having to get a civilian job in a department store. T...
Working with Alec Guinness and the distinguished British director Robert Hamer in this Daphne du Maurier adaptation, Davis gives us one of her ripest bedridden roles, but with some great staircase work when she wants to come down to make an entrance in the drawing room. Guinness plays a timid Englishman who finds he has an exact double – a mysterio...
Here was a queenly role for Davis in her “melodrama” phase, giving plenty of scope for portraying hauteur, neurosis and an embattled, tragic sense of entitlement. She has no less a title than Queen Carlota of Mexico, the wife of the 19th-century Austrian Archduke Maximilian (Brian Aherne), who has been installed as Mexico’s monarch by Napoleon III ...
The exquisitely handsome and sonorous Charles Boyer is a great pairing for Davis in this true story from pre-revolutionary 1840s France, although maybe these two stars are too similar in their diva-like self-consciousness to be a really great screen romance. Davis hits her mousy, gentle, submissive persona (so different from her sardonic villainess...
This screwball romp, adapted from the Moss Hart-George Kaufman stage play, gave Davis a rare outing in the world of comedy. She is Maggie Cutler, a self-effacing spinster who is assistant to a preening critic called Sheridan Whiteside who, while on a national lecture tour, slips on the ice and breaks his hip outside the house of a prominent local f...
Adapted from W Somerset Maugham, this was the movie that made Davis a star, although the role was darker, more shrewish and unsympathetic than those for which she would become famous. Putting on a sharp London accent, Davis played the blowsy, sexy blond waitress Mildred who entrances a sensitive medical student and would-be artist, played by Leslie...
Davis plays Elizabeth I in a movie about the Virgin Queen’s complex political flirtation with the Earl of Essex, played by Errol Flynn. (These actors were both 31 – which was in fact Essex’s age at this historical moment, though Queen Elizabeth was 63, and so Davis is labouring under heavy makeup.) Davis’s Queen is deeply attracted to the handsome ...
This was the follow-up to What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? and it is another of the Miss Havisham-style roles that Davis knew how to play with such gusto. Here she is Miss Charlotte, an ageing and lonely southern belle who is haunted by the mysterious unsolved murder of her married lover 30 years before. Now the local authorities seek to have her p...
There are more sensational staircase scenes in this grand melodrama on the theme of antisemitism, with Davis on her most toweringly unsympathetic form. She is the vain, spoilt and empty-headed Fanny, who – if she loves anyone at all – loves her similarly indulged brother, Trippy. When he is suspected of stealing from his Jewish employer, Mr Skeffin...
